YPUDU. ANAGRAMMISTE. 1981.

NYC: A & M Artworks/Grommet Gallery, 1981 30 x 42cm, 4pp (printed on one side only). A de facto print multiple which is also an announcement for two exhibitions - the first being a solo show by Dupuy (who initially took the space from over George Maciunas after the latter was beaten by mob contractors and then turned it into an art studio alongside Olga Adorno). Later Dupuy leased part of the Soho Loft space at 537 Broadway to Emily Harvey who set up the Grommet Gallery, which in turn, eventually became the Emily Harvey Gallery. The second event publicised here is a "T.B.K.T.T.C.Performance" with Charles Morrow, C. Santos, Jean Dupuy, J. Halberet, A. Schwerner, G. Velez, C. Tuynman, Emily Harvey, Olga Adorno and Christian Xatrec. The two works reproduced here here are printed in  red and black and apparently (along with other material by Dupuy) were seemingly some of the first of Fluxus affiliated works exposed to Harvey. Later her gallery would be come synonymous with artists who were heavily influenced by Fluxus. Dupuy was fascinated by anagrams and much of his early work would show columns of such sentences which would be re-arranged to create new combinations of words. His drawings would usually show how the letters should be rearranged to create the new formulations. Scarce early publication to be associated with Harvey. Later she would coordinate several other exhibitions by the artist in her gallery. VG+.

OLGA ADORNO. 1982. VERY EARLY EMILY HARVEY PUBLICATION & HARVEY’S FIRST EXHIBITION IN GROMMET GALLERY.

NYC: Grommet Gallery, 1982 30 x 21cm, 16pp exhibition catalogue for a drawing and performance show by Adorno. Designed by the artist and reproduced in her own facsimile hand with many illustrations and b/w photographs of performances and works. This was one of the very first manifestations of Emily Harvey's career as a gallerist - prior to this she had been working as a corporate art consultant- the Grommet Gallery later became the Emily Harvey Gallery and was based, like the latter, in 537 Broadway. It is claimed the early shows at Grommet were curated by Jean Dupuy and Christian Xatrec and it was not until the Emily Harvey Gallery was set up officially that she curated her own space. Staples are rusted here but else VG+. Scarce publication.

ONE TIME. CITIZEN SELLS OUT! 1987.

The newsletter format of the announcement has an image of R. Crumb eating a record on the front, and mention of various concerts in co-ordination with the event - including a "Wretched Refuse Thanksgiving" with Tuli Kupferberg (of the Fuggs) and friends. An amusing format of publicity for one of the first events at Harvey's gallery.
